HARROWING, TRUE-TO-LIFE WAR TALES IN THE EC TRADITION.
Before Two-Fisted Tales burst onto the scene in 1950, war comics were largely unsophisticated, focusing only on action and adventure--wartime propaganda, essentially. But under the editorial direction of Harvey Kurtzman--who also penned the majority of the stories therein--Two-Fisted Tales dared to examine all the horror and madness to be found on the battlefield. Collecting Two-Fisted Tales issues #30-#35, now in an affordable paperback edition, this volume features--in fully remastered digital color--the work of comic book greats Gene Colan, Johnny Craig, Reed Crandall, Jack Davis, Will Elder, Ric Estrada, George Evans, Joe Kubert, Harvey Kurtzman, John Severin, and Wally Wood! Foreword by Joe Kubert!Author Biography
